subject: Car Leasing Tips [print this page] For many consumers who are interested in buying a new car, the large monthly payments are simply too much to justify in their limited budget. If you are thinking about a new car, yet lack a new car budget, there are options available to you. Honda dealers in Baltimore offer the following tips on how you can get in a new car at an affordable price by leasing you next vehicle.
Ask us about specials- Dealerships can be very helpful in matching you with the perfect lease special offered by the manufacturer. There are often incentives and deals that make leasing even more affordable, however it is important to fully understand the lease agreement to avoid any fees or potential penalties for which you would otherwise be unaware.
Shorter lease periods are often better- If you are considering leasing you next vehicle, you might find it more cost effective to select a shorter lease period. When you opt for the shorter lease period (three years is ideal) you still get the benefit of a bumper-to-bumper warranty and avoid driving a vehicle past it's peak performance years.
Maintain your vehicle for best return- Remember when you lease a vehicle you will be responsible for the condition in which it is returned. Unlike when you purchase a new vehicle that will remain yours until you decide it is time to sell, a leased vehicle must be returned in good condition. This means you must be diligent in upkeep, pay attention to mileage and make all scheduled service appointments. If you fail to do this you may end up owing a hefty bill at the end of the lease period.
